Ox stomach (Niu Du)
By DAISY | 7/21/2004 2:23:08 PM
To me, Niu Du is the most tasty than baked mutton! Nothing could be compared with the sofe and tender meat dipped with seasoning~~~
Just a little more expensive than barbeque. RMB0.3 for one skewer.

Xi'an local pie
By DAISY | 7/21/2004 11:46:03 AM
If you enter a Kaorou restaurant, you will find or be recommended by waiter one special pie of Hui minority. Captivating appearance (fried golden exterior, but tender interior!!) and cheap.
RMB2 for one plate.

Barbeque in Hui Snack Street
By DAISY | 7/21/2004 11:32:32 AM
Yes, don't forget to taste Kaorou if you have the chance to visit the Drum Tower and Big Mosque that are close to the Snack Street. And especially in the evening, you will find many foreigners like you there. They are also pulled together by this delicious and cheap food.

Jia Brothers' Restaurant (Jia San Guan Tang Baozi)
By DAISY | 7/19/2004 12:04:03 PM
Still the most famous of the Jia Brothers' restaurants, you'll know you're there when you see the monstrous blue arch over the entrance and a wall festooned with photographs of Xi'an notables -- TV hosts, writers, and musicians. The specialty dish is guantang baozi, with a choice of beef, lamb or "three flavors" -- lamb, mushroom, and prawn. The dumplings have piping-hot soup inside, so let them cool before testing your chopstick skills. This dish is best washed down with ba bao xifan, a sweet rice porridge filled with peanuts, sultanas, hawthorn, and medlar berries.
Cuisine: Muslim
Hours 7:30am-midnight
Address: Bei Yuan Men
Location: 135m/150 yd. north of Drum Tower, on the east side, Around Town
Prices: Meal for 2 less than ¥20 ($2.50)

Snack Street (Hui Min Jie)
By DAISY | 7/19/2004 11:49:20 AM
To have the dilicious food and wine in Xi'an is indeed a pleasure and also a mearis to learn about food culture. The most interesting place is the Local Snacks Street(Hui Min Jie) near the Drum Tower, the most famous Muslem snacks street in Xi'an. On the two sides of the 200-m street, there are many restaurants of different cuisines and snack shops of different flavors. Here tourists can have the true Muslem cuisine and snacks, including mutton soup with cake,sausage, mutton and porridge. While having food tourists can learn customs of the Hui nationality.

For Yangrou Paomo, to Tongshenxiang or Fangshangren
By DAISY | 7/16/2004 11:19:31 AM
Tongshengxiang Beef and Lamb Paomo Restaurant and Fangshangren are the famous and recommended places to have this tasty snack.
In the Bell and Drum Tower Square, you can easily find Tongshenxiang which is built in Tang style.

Dumpling dinner
By DAISY | 7/16/2004 10:58:45 AM
This is an experience for the dumpling connoisseur, the flavours, shapes and colours will tempt the palette, while the elegant names and stories attached to each variety are truly amazing. It is no less amazing that a simple way of preparing food has become so very popular and sophisticated that it is now considered to be as much a work of art as a tasty morsel.

Trains tickets can be got from any Railway Stations in Beijing. We booked our soft sleepers 4 days in advance at Beijing East Station for RMB 417 on Z19 which was an all soft sleeper fast tain leaving at 7.28 pm and arriving at about 7.00 am. Children below 120 m travelled half price. We returned via Z 20 which leaves around 7.28 pm and arrived in Beijing at about 7.00 am.
